T-bar Vs Coupe.. + And - Points For Both Please...

[Fizz]

After speakin with a fellow TOC MR2 owner.. he brought to my attention something i didn;t knwo about..

The T-bar Turbo.. when blasting round the twisties... do you T-bar owners ever hear any creaks in the chassis?

And how bad is the leaking problem for those who actually have the problem...?

Cheers in advacnce...

there is flex .. but not as much as people will tell you (not with my suspension and braces anyhow).

Leaks? None now I've siliconed them ..

hmm... ;)

Having driven both, as Bibbs says, there is some flex, but nothing particularly noticable. One thing I would check is the insurance premium v a hard top - though I think you've already done this is I recall correctly.....

the premium aint a problem.. cheers..

the flex in the car aint that bad then?... i aint planning on raggin the car about obviously.. but when the odd track day comes about...

I notice some creaks when going off my drive at an angle.

Also leaks are fixable !

[Bibbs]

Track days are fine .. I've owned a sunroof and a t-bar .. and for the 4 days of sun a year .. it's worth it ..

Other thing .. can you fit in a tin-top with a helmet on? I couldn't .. I'd need to take the T-bar out ..

My rev 2 was a hard top.. I had no probs with sitting in it with a helmet on at the few track days I was at last year.. :D

Yea T-bars are great Ive been in a few and didnt notice any creaks or nowt either. I didnt want one personally because I couldnt be ****d with the leakage and hassle or removing the panels etc. Plus im not a poser like this lot above
